I use this as a lead-in to procedural writing. It is a 'trick' test - if you follow the directions, you don't actually do anything.

This is a fabulous, in-depth, yet student-accessible primer on grammar. I know, it was created by Canadians, but that's okay. I sometimes use their resources when discussing parts of speech and word interactions in class. Our students are increasingly digital; it helps to speak their language. 

This is a great website, with lots and lots of links to fantastic educational websites all around the world wide web. You click on a topic, and it provides a list of websites that have information about that topic.

Really great website if you need some new ideas for lesson plans. Both exciting and fun for teachers and students.

This site is a great tool for anybody looking for activities to help teach particular topics. It's divided up by grade, then by subject. I find this particularly useful for those who are extremely interactive.

A cool website that allows you to choose grade level you like for information.

This is a fun science website for kids! I like it because I feel that it could encourage students, especially a child who may find science boring. It provides "Real Life Science".
